Cidre Fermier 2018,

Florian Bourrienne
What mainly sets Florian Bourrienne apart from other cider producers is that he makes ciders for aging, intended to evolve over the years. His orchard is located in the heart of Calvados, in the Pays d'Auge region, but outside the AOC (Protected Designation of Origin) in order to preserve the freedom and uniqueness of his ciders. We can, without hesitation, call it natural cider, because the cider maker goes beyond organic to respect the traditional production method, which is delicate, patient, and requires a tremendous amount of work. From his fifteen-hectare orchard planted with tall stems, he produces ciders for aging, excellent to drink in their youth but sumptuous after several years. The blend is carefully measured according to the characteristics of each vintage. The fruit production is entirely organic and the fermentation processes—there are two for traditional cider—are slow and patient, so that the cider is made the right way, using natural yeasts. These are preserved in the cider thanks to a light filtration that respects all the living elements capable of polishing the taste and aromas, but also facilitates the formation of foam, which must be just right: neither too strong nor too weak. It's difficult to manage, but the result is well worth it. These are mastered ciders, eminently delicious, marked by an extraordinary sweetness and roundness of apple. Over time, they acquire notes of acidity and astringency that gracefully reinforce their beautiful aromatic palette. Ciders of taste and pleasure, as delicious at the table as they are as an aperitif.

This 2018 vintage is still a little young, but it is already delicious: drink it without regret now, but if you can afford to let it wait a few more years (at least three or four), you will appreciate it even more. The color is a beautiful, slightly coppery gold. With soft bubbles and a lemony nose, it offers a round and sweet mouthfeel, moderate acidity. It is a cider of pleasure and thirst that everyone agrees on.

Mezcal Nuestra Soledad d’Oaxaca
Mezcal, a wild agave brandy, is typical of the Mexican province of Oaxaca and is beginning to enjoy great international success, which has led to a certain industrialization of its production. This one (41°) has been produced since 1887 by the Cortes family using traditional methods and made by El Jolgorio, master distiller. The agave hearts of the espadine variety are cooked in pit ovens over mesquite and oak wood, which gives the mezcal its characteristic smoky flavor. After cooking, the agave is fermented in open-air tanks and then distilled in a copper still.
This elegant and peppery artisanal spirit, with its unique flavor qualities, is already excellent neat, but make it into a margarita and you'll have a hard time going back to tequila (no disrespect to this excellent spirit).

Magnum P'tit Nouveau Gamay - Red - 2019

Vincent Wallard
This is an all-gamay carbonic maceration extracted from grapes from the Jean-François Debourg estate in southern Beaujolais. Fresh and crisp, it offers beautiful notes of red fruits (cherry). Decanting is required to allow its sweet and gourmet qualities to express themselves.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.

Punch Maracuja 25° - 100cl

Longueteau Distillery

This punch is made with Longueteau rum and the passion fruit variety called maracuja: larger than the usual size, heavy, juicy, and very fragrant. The fruit is grown on the property: of the 100 hectares of land on the estate, 70 are dedicated to growing sugarcane and the remaining 30 to tropical fruits typical of the Caribbean region. This is where the fresh passion fruits used to flavor this punch come from. Harvested in the morning, they leave for the distillery in the afternoon to be macerated for several weeks in Longueteau 50 agricultural rum. This know-how corresponds to more than twenty years of experience in the creation and production of homemade punches at Longueteau: an authentic and gourmet recipe, ideal for an aperitif.

To find out more
The Longueteau distillery, located in Capesterre-Belle-Eau (Guadeloupe), is the oldest distillery on the island still in operation. It has the particularity of being entirely autonomous in the production of sugar cane, which it uses to obtain its magnificent terroir agricultural rums. Agricultural rum, we point out, is made from pure sugar cane juice unlike many other Caribbean rums, which are produced from cane molasses. It is a specialty of the French Antilles. The estate is currently in the hands of François Longueteau, a distiller since 1979. Production is, as it was originally, artisanal and traditional, but the sugarcane terroirs are developed using plot-by-plot methods—this is Longueteau's unique feature, the first distillery on the island to adopt this approach. Two varieties of sugarcane, blue cane and red cane, are cultivated, as well as fruits from the Guadeloupe region. Longueteau rums and the resulting preparations (punches, shrubberies, etc.) are fine, aromatic, deep, and fragrant.

Lulu Rouge 2020,

Patrick Bouju
A magnificent and renowned wine, a rich and velvety Lulu cuvée, with animal and spicy notes, and where the red fruits are generously expressed. Lulu comes from a basalt plot in Corent, planted with Gamay d'Auvergne vines over seventy years old. The destemmed harvest macerates for five months in amphorae. Aging is twelve months in oak barrels. Decanting is recommended.

Near Billom, the Limagne clermontoise rises eastward to form a hilly area with a mild climate, dominated by volcanic hills. This is the Tuscany of Auvergne, so named because of its resemblance to the Italian province. This land of mixed subsistence farming was once covered in vines and was the preferred domain of Gamay d'Auvergne, a robust ancient strain, the origin of dense, deep, and fruity wines. This is where Patrick Bouju cultivates and vinifies, on these high-quality volcanic soils and mainly on old vines. The soils vary between basalt, limestone, clay-limestone, and pozzolan. Patrick collects and cares for the best terroirs of Puy-de-Dôme, often abandoned, and gives them new life. He also preserves the indigenous grape varieties, of which he cultivates a good fifty, and simultaneously works as a wine merchant using purchased organic grapes. The current renaissance of the Auvergne vineyard (which was once the third largest in France) owes much to Patrick. The fact that he enjoys lending a helping hand to his winegrowing friends from France and elsewhere only confirms his image as a model, a leader. His partnerships are famous: with Action Bronson for the series A la Natural, with Jason Ligas in Greece for Sous le Végétal… Patrick practices long macerations, and the wines rest for up to six months after bottling. Very sensitive to sulfites in wines, Patrick has found that his own do very well without them. He has also found that if the grapes are healthy and concentrated, the balance is achieved by itself, whatever the successive phases a vintage goes through. His noble, chiseled, distinguished, never bland wines are immediately recognizable in the glass. They are straight, clean, precise, often marked by floral notes and a spicy minerality. They also constitute a formidable anthology of the terroirs and ancient vines of Basse-Auvergne and its volcanic soils.

VNB Blanc 2019,

Partida Creus
Partida Creus is an estate as important from a winemaking perspective as it is from a historical perspective—we're talking about the history of the vine in Catalonia. Massimo Marchiori and Antonella Gerosa, originally from Piedmont—and even from the Langhe region, where wine is well-known—first pursued careers as architects in Barcelona. But the wine bug bit them, and they soon abandoned the big city and its sophistication for the vineyards of southern Catalonia, in Bonastre in Baix-Penedés. There, they found a wealth of abandoned vineyards planted with a dizzying diversity of traditional Catalan grape varieties, which they passionately revived to save these varieties—and their wines—from oblivion. On their part, it’s not just a matter of saving heritage, no: it’s a matter of taste and nature. Natural wines, which they will continue to make from now on on these sandy, poor, clay-limestone or clay-gravelly, poor and poorly irrigated lands, where the vines suffer to give their best juice. Massimo and Antonella practice organic, biodynamic, entirely manual and natural viticulture in order to give new life to these wines. Vinyater, sumoll, garrut, monastrell, ull de perdiu, ull de llebre, sumoll, queixal de llop, cariñena, trepat, ceciat parent, maccabeu, parellada, pansé, vinel.lo, bobal, cartoixà vermell or xarel.lo: it is a true conservatory of the native Catalan grape varieties that Partida Creus cares for. Moscatel, Grenache, Merlot, and Cabernet (among others) are also grown here. Few wineries can boast growing so many different grape varieties. The wines reflect this diversity, with winemakers striving to best convey the signature of the soil and the grape variety: single-varietal wines are common among them, alongside extensive blends, all in the styles dear to Catalonia: still wine, "ancestral" sparkling wine, and even vermouth. The bottles themselves are works of art: bare glass, simply marked with two large stenciled initials that denote the cuvée. The wines, fresh, vibrant, lush but always straightforward and impeccably juicy and fruity, breathe life. The arrival of a Partida Creus at the table always elicits cries of satisfaction.
This very fresh, easy-drinking white (10% alcohol) is the result of a very light maceration of native Catalan grape varieties: Garnatxa Blanca, Macabeu, Moscatell, Vinyater, Xarel·lo, Parsé and Parellada. Beautiful maturity, sharp character and acidity characteristic of this estate. Perfect for seafood.

BS Blanco de Sumoll Blanc 2017, Partida Creus
This still blanc de noirs, 100% Sumoll direct press, is a historic cuvée, the first made by Massimo and Antonella. It is a very rare wine that should not be missed when a few bottles appear. Finely macerated, golden with a hint of orange, it is made for the table and refined dishes. Vibrant, aromatic, notes of garrigue (thyme, rosemary), quince, a rather saline finish.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.

GT Garrut Ancestral Sparkling Red 2017

Partida Creus
A Catalan cousin of Mourvèdre, the Garrut grape variety forms the basis of this dazzling wine, which revisits the classic sparkling wine in a black fruit way: intense, bright, earthy, completely atypical, even a little cracked, reminiscent of the best of Lambrusco. A perfect companion for Ibérico bellota ham, fine chorizos, and all high-end cured meats, as well as pâtés, terrines, and spicy dishes. It evokes the family vine, artisanal production, and free wine.
A natural wine with no added sulfites.

Vervain by Vincent Spiritueux

Liqueurs Granier

The Granier liqueur house offers its first Vervain liqueur, the one that launched the house's beginnings. Entirely organic, artisanal, and sourced locally, it is Vincent's Vervain, Vincent Granier's, who lovingly created its recipe.

The Plant

Lemon verbena (Aloysia citriodora) is a favorite in cottage gardens. A member of the Verbenaceae family, it is cultivated for its fragrant leaves, with a slight hint of lemon peel. It is tonic, calming, fever-reducing, antispasmodic, and digestive. The one infused for this liqueur was grown organically and harvested by hand in the Alps.

Production

To the Vervain are added organic lemon zest (from Menton), organic coriander seeds and lemongrass grown biodynamically in Egypt (the closest and most eco-friendly place to find 100% natural lemongrass). The plants and spices are infused in the natural water of the Boubioz spring, near Lake Annecy, and the alcohol is made from 100% organic wheat. The organic sugar is produced in the Palatine Forest.

Tasting

This organic and artisanal Vervain is sweet and caressing, very fresh, and is not heavy in alcohol or sugar. Easy to drink, it can be enjoyed as an aperitif, in a shot, in mixology and as a digestif. We love pairing it with fine charcuterie, for example terrines or hams from the Ferme de Mayrinhac.

Learn more about Granier liqueurs

The Granier liqueur factory — two brothers, Vincent and Stéphane Granier — produces artisanal liqueurs from the Haute-Savoie region. Flavor, smoothness, and balance are their great qualities, resulting from a meticulous and measured infusion technique to minimize extraction.

Wild or organically grown

Plants grown organically, or picked in the mountains surrounding Annecy, are obtained through short supply chains and for this reason reflect the flora of the steep meadows or gardens of Haute-Savoie. Everything is organic and without additives, from the initial infusion to bottling.

Intact flavors

During the tasting, we were amazed by the Granier liqueurs, one after the other. Never have such fresh plant flavors been restored to us by liqueurs. We have the sensation of tasting the plant itself, infused in all its singularity, supported by just the right amount of organic sugar (that is to say, little) produced in the Palatine Forest and just the right amount of alcohol. An organic beer alcohol that allows the plant to convey its message without interference. Not only is it delicious, but it's also an excellent digestif. Vervain, genepi, gentian, mint, or meadowsweet—we guarantee you'll have a great time.

Brân Rouge 2020,

Le Raisin Et L'Ange
Notes of undergrowth, tobacco, and spices, all accompanied by fresh, delicious, and indulgent fruit: this beautiful Ardèche red, fluid and full-bodied, is remarkable for its balance and adaptability. Perfect for all pairings and all occasions, it's not overpowering. In the Vin de France appellation, it's a blend of 100% Gamay. The grapes grew in a Mediterranean climate, with strong sunshine year-round. The vineyard is cultivated organically, and the harvest is entirely manual. The destemmed Gamay is macerated for fourteen days before pressing. Vinification and aging are carried out without any additives in stainless steel vats.

Le Raisin et l’Ange is an Ardèche wine estate located at Mas de la Bégude, not far from Aubenas. It is a peaceful and serene place in the heart of the beautiful Ibie Valley, very close to the Ardèche Gorges. It has been run since 1983 by Gilles Azzoni, originally from Paris, who manages the farm and the six hectares of vineyard. From the beginning, Gilles has been concerned with practicing viticulture that respects nature. He wants to make “the wines he likes to drink”: thirst-quenching wines, not too alcoholic, and without added sulfites. He began by directing cultivation techniques towards organic farming, which was fully operational in 1997. The certifications (Ecocert and Nature & Progrès) were obtained in November 2010. Since his son, Antonin, took over the estate and assisted his father, a trading activity has been added to the farm's practices.
The terroir is dry, stony and clay-limestone. The vines are backed by hills and border the forest. The place has been cultivated for centuries, not only with vines but also with cereals (barley, rye). Not all of the vineyard area is exploited, and the vintages come from both the estate's grapes and organic grapes from other neighboring estates. Grown on-site or nearby, we find the typical varieties of the region—Syrah, Grenache, and Viognier—as well as Merlot, Gamay, Alicante, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay. The cultivation and winemaking methods are entirely organic and natural: nothing is added to the vineyard, nothing added in the winery. Grassing of the soil and sowing of green manure are practiced. The estate is a member of the Association of Natural Wines (AVN).

Une Rose de Blancs Rosé 2020,

La Senda
La Bodega La Senda is the creation of Diego Losada, a native of Bierzo, a region in the northwest of the province of León, bordered to the north by Asturias and to the west by Galicia. Pilgrims traveling to Compostela via the Camino Francés or the Camino de Invierno can admire its magnificent landscapes, where ancient vineyards cover the hilltops. Viticulture dates back to Roman times, but the region was so traumatized by the phylloxera crisis that vines were not replanted until the mid-20th century, without massive uprooting, giving these vines an average age of forty to seventy years. Born in Ponferrada, in the northern Bierzo, Diego has never been one for compromise. Resolutely radical, with a passion for freedom and rigor, he first applied this disposition to music in the heavy metal band he formed with his high school friends. It was later to wine that he would devote this same passion, studying organic chemistry at university and learning the scientific aspects of viticulture. But the scientific rigidity and conventional methods he discovered on some of the estates where he worked did not satisfy him. Attracted to a viticulture closer to the land, Diego reclaimed a few plots to showcase the Bierzo terroir as naturally as possible. In 2012, he created the La Senda estate, whose name means "the path," on the outskirts of his hometown. His wines would be like him: honest, frank, natural, and expressive. Not awarded the designation of origin, they are the pure reflection of their soils and climate, the personality and energy of their creator.
Two white grape varieties in equal parts: Doña Blanca and Palomino from old plots whose vines are seventy to ninety years old. The vineyard is located in the north of Bierzo, planted on quartz-clayey limestone soils, at an altitude of 550 meters. The entire harvest macerates for three days in barrels that previously contained Mencia red wine, hence the particular color of this wine, aged four months in the same barrels. No filtration or added sulfites.
Natural wine without added sulfites.

Magnum Blanc 2019,

La Sorga
Antony Tortul loves old vineyards: he devotes his life to finding and vinifying them. Just as there are landless shepherds, he can be defined as a landless winegrower, in other words, a wine merchant whose scope extends throughout Languedoc and, eastward, as far as Châteauneuf-du-Pape, in search of the best terroirs. Born in Foix, with six years of experience as a viticultural technician and oenologist in various vineyards in the south of France, he founded La Sorga in 2008. His enthusiasm leads him on a path filled with love at first sight, and each of these loves is a vineyard. The result is a stunning mosaic of natural, lively, and spirited wines, reinvented each year with around thirty cuvées per vintage. Few winemakers can include such a variety of grape varieties: the entire south of France is included, with muscats, grenaches, picpoul, mauzac, carignan, cinsault, marsanne, alicante, braucol, duras, viognier, len-de-l’el, and all the rest.
Natural wine with no added sulfites.
Quite simply called “white,” because it’s white. Is that all? The reality is much more complex. This wine comes from a terroir of puddings located in Castelreng, in the Limoux valley. It is composed entirely of yellow mauzac (thirty-year-old vines). The harvest is carried out in two selections, then goes through direct pressing without settling. The aging, on lees, continues for eight months in vats. Puddingstone is agglomerated pebbles, a soil of fluvial origin: this pebbles is beautifully reflected in the nose of this wine, all white flowers, with notes of lemon and green apple. The palate is extremely refreshing and remarkably mineral (still the pebbles), with a complex and floral finish of white fruits. This white is wonderfully pure, it's rock water, it can accompany a declaration of love if you want to illustrate the purity of your feelings. In other circumstances, serve it with anything fish. It can be kept for around ten years.

L'Opéra des Vins Charme Blanc 2021

Jean-Pierre Robinot
This 2021 vintage of Charme comes from a particularly warm year: it displays pure fruitiness and beautiful maturity with a remarkable acidity that can reasonably be called "a little taste of comeback." It's a great seducer that you won't be able to do without. It lives up to its name: this exquisite Loire Chenin offers beautiful notes of citrus and spices: white fruits, honey, lemon peel, and dried fruits on the back palate. Elegant, deep, refined, and full of liveliness, a little exotic on the edges, it exhibits beautiful minerality and plenty of freshness. Charme comes from forty-year-old Chenin vines growing on very mineral soils: siliceous, clayey (red clay), and limestone. The harvest is directly pressed and fermented in oak barrels. Vinification is done by spontaneous alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Aging is twelve months in oak barrels, followed by three months in vats before bottling without filtration. Decanting for one hour is recommended.

Anyone interested in natural wine in France has inevitably come across Jean-Pierre Robinot at some point and has never forgotten this smiling, bouncy figure. It is clear that while it has not yet been proven that all wines resemble their winemaker (a study to be undertaken), the vintages produced by Jean-Pierre, warm, friendly, and luminous, are a reflection of their creator. After running the wine bar L’Ange Vin on rue Richard-Lenoir in the 11th arrondissement of Paris for nearly fifteen years, Jean-Pierre returned to his native Chahaignes, a small village in the south of Sarthe, on the borders of Anjou and Touraine. His dream is to acquire his vineyard and make sulfur-free wines. He reclaims hillside wasteland on great terroirs, as well as troglodyte cellars dug into the tuffeau. 2002 will be his first vintage. At the same time, under the L’Opéra du vin brand, he vinifies grapes purchased from local winegrowers. Jean-Pierre Robinot practices demanding organic viticulture, without chemical weed control. The soil is worked and amended with natural composts. All harvests, carried out at maturity on healthy grapes, are done by hand. The location and climate favor noble rot.

Finisterra White 2019,

Jean-Marc Dreyer

Aromatic and floral, full of citrus peel and tropical fruits, Finisterra is a sort of quintessential Alsace wine, a rare and refined vintage of captivating complexity. Lychee, passion fruit, white flowers, ginger, and yellow rose, on an aromatic background of beeswax. This wine has balsamic accents of waxed old wood and yellow fruits (peach), spices, on a delicate mineral framework of tannins reminiscent of Chinese oolong tea. The secret? Jean-Marc Dreyer blended five grape varieties—Riesling, Muscat, Pinot Gris, Auxerrois, and Gewurztraminer—to create this skin-macerated cuvée with structure, oxidative notes, and a deep amber color. It will pair very well with roast poultry, game, and anything related to duck or goose: duck breasts, duck with blood, roast duckling, confit, and foie gras. We also imagine it with well-simmered wild mushrooms. A wine to enjoy after an autumn walk. Biodynamic method, fermentation using indigenous yeasts, unfiltered, unclarified, with no sulfites added in the vineyard or cellar.

"Maceration is a tradition in Alsace!" says Jean-Marc Dreyer, adding that direct pressing in this region is a modern invention, linked to the advent of electricity. In the past, people worked by hand and let the grapes macerate before sending the marc to the press. » Whole-bunch maceration is Jean-Marc Dreyer's signature and represents 85% of the estate's production, the remainder consisting of direct-pressed whites, often aged using controlled oxidation. Jean-Marc succeeds several generations of his family at the Dreyer & Fils estate, established in 1830 between Obernai and Molsheim. Upon taking over the estate, he immediately opted for biodynamics, but he hesitated for a while between several methods: at first, his wines were more oaky, aged in new barrels with stirring. Then came the sweet period: all his wines contained residual sugar. In 2008, he tried vinifying without any sulfur and found his direction: the following winter, upon returning from the pilgrimage to Compostela, he swore never to add sulfur to any wine again. Having made this decision, he asserts his style around skin maceration, quite advanced, chiseled, always surprising on Alsatian grape varieties, of which it brings out the structure without sacrificing the delicacy. Jean-Marc works in single-varietal or blended vintages and also produces Pinot Noir reds of surprising depth.

M&M Rouge 2022

Jean Louis Pinto
M & M is an organic and natural red wine from Jean-Louis Pinto of the Es d’Aqui estate. Classified as a Vin de France, it comes from the Languedoc and Roussillon terroirs, and presents a rather atypical profile due to its blend. The blend is made from Mourvèdre (40%) and Muscat of Alexandria (40%) with some secondary varieties, all grown on clay-limestone soils.

Vinification
The harvest is manual and treated differently depending on the grape variety: destemmed maceration, whole bunch maceration, direct pressing. The wine is a blend of several macerations and pressings. Once blended, the wine is aged in resin vats.

Tasting
This aromatic and slightly tannic wine is made for surprises. The blend produced can only give an extraordinary result. M & M brings together several dimensions: aroma, delicacy, fruit, tannins. It is both robust and opulent. Pair it with a nice roasted poultry, a rack of roasted pork or game.

Learn more about Jean-Louis Pinto and the Es d’Aqui estate
A child of Ariège, Jean-Louis Pinto chose to stay in the country and make wines that resemble their terroir, hence the name Es d’Aqui (“He is from here”) that he gave to his wine merchant estate, located in Moulin-Neuf, a town near the Aude, between Mirepoix and Limoux. A region where vines once abounded, until the major mildew attacks at the beginning of the 20th century.

Winemaker and merchant
Jean-Louis buys grapes grown organically by winegrower friends. He monitors fruit set and ripening, and does everything he can to understand the grapes before harvesting them. He vinifies them at home using natural methods, practicing long macerations on whole bunches and very gentle pressings in a vertical press. He says he has "a lot of vines in common" with his friend Anthony Tortul (La Sorga).

All the terroirs of Languedoc
Jean-Louis Pinto's collection area extends throughout Languedoc, particularly in Hérault, Aude, and Tarn. "I make wines from the South," he says. "I'm mainly looking for terroirs that give freshness." The most powerful reds are made in five terracotta jars, which help him control extraction and give his wines, he says, "a very crystalline quality."

Bourgogne Bedeau Qvevris Rouge 2020,

Frédéric Cossard


Aging in qvevris, Georgian-style buried terracotta jars, further accentuates the velvety texture and refinement of this beautiful, highly refined Pinot Noir. This wine offers sumptuous, satiny fruit, a touch of fresh earth, and a touch of insolence to enhance the overall effect. The harvest comes from plots of forty-year-old vines in and around Volnay, and from a plot of fifty-year-old vines in Nuits-Saint-Georges.

Through his entirely natural work, Frédéric Cossard gives voice to the terroirs and Burgundy wines, undistorted by agricultural chemicals. Having observed, during his years of trading, the existence of harmful wine-growing practices, the winemaker used this counter-example to practice unadulterated viticulture. Thus, he produces vintages of purity and elegance without artifice which are among the most sought-after in Burgundy. Frédéric worked for a time as a wine broker before creating the Chassorney estate with his partner Laure in 1996: initially a few ares of vines in Saint-Romain, Auxey-Duresses and Savigny-lès-Beaune, and currently ten hectares spread across the Nuits-Saint-Georges, Pommard, Volnay, Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune and Bourgogne appellations. In 2006, he created his own wine merchant house and purchased organic grapes to vinify, according to his style and convictions, great vintages such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, Pommard, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée and several Beaujolais vintages. The practice is not limited to Burgundy since vintages are made from grapes purchased in the Jura or Languedoc. At his place, the work of the soil and the vines is done as naturally as possible: regular plowing by horse, no addition of chemical fertilizers or weedkillers. The vines are cared for according to the principles of biodynamics: homeopathic treatments based on essential oils, copper and sulfur in minimal doses. The harvest is entirely manual, carried out at full maturity, at the end of October. red or white, classic Burgundies or more atypical or less “regional” bottles, Frédéric’s vintages are rare and sought-after wines, which sometimes require waiting.
